Ocular Toxoplasmosis

Ocular toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, which often affects the eye, particularly the retina, leading to inflammation known as uveitis. This condition can result in blurry vision, eye pain, and even vision loss if not treated. The immune system usually helps control the infection, but in some people, it may overreact, causing further damage to the eye. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and combat the infection, highlighting the importance of proper ocular immunology in managing such diseases. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and treatment.
